I was planning to do some flips next week, when Glen pointed out

"Although the AIP Supplement 044-10 is valid until 11 July 2010, on page 2, paragraph 5.8, it mentions that the ADIZ (Air Defence Identification Zone) is valid in Cape Town until 2200 on 6 July 2010."

This has been confirmed by FSdt NT van den Berg of SAAF Flight Authorisation Centre.

Makes sense.. Last game in Cape Town 6th July.

Hi,

Anyone know if the Pretoria/Rustenburg restrictions have been lifted yet?? Our strip is in the area ovelapping both the stadiums.

Thanks

FARG lifted, but JHB restrictions till Sun/Mon. I flew without transponder at FABS (which is inside JHB area) last week so seems you should be able to get flight permission even if not TX equipped outside the 10nm radius....

Thanks George

Then all the boidies can be let loose out of their cages!!

Phoned yesterday flight auth centre, was told that i stil need Fac and must file flight plan for flight in Cp restriction area till the 11 of this month.

See below. I will be testing the conflicting information tomorrow.

Sir/Madam

Thank you for the FAC codes.

I have been made aware of the following:

Although the AIP Supplement 044-10 is valid until 11 July 2010, on page 2, paragraph 5.8, it mentions that the ADIZ (Air Defence Identification Zone) is valid in Cape Town until 2200 on 6 July 2010.

Is this correct - in which case no FACs are necessary for after the 6th?

Yours

From the 6th of July you don’t need FAC’s for Cape Town anymore. However, FAC’s are still required if they fly to the Port Elizabeth district.



Kind regards

Gonna try again, have time to fly today and tomorrow.

Update : I phoned them now, a Sers basson 0123122625 from flight auth confirmed - we are back to normal - restrictions is lifted in CT

We have flown today without FAC or flight plan. We phoned Cape Town and Langebaan and asked about the restriction. They confirmed that the resitrictions ended.

Flew yesterday , No Problem , Noticeable more traffic in air than during SWC Restrictions
